HOSPITAL EXTENSIONS.
The Council, in January, 1931, approved a recommendation
that the Town Clerk be instructed to make formal application to the
Ministry of Health for sanction to the necessary loan, and that
tenders be invited for carrying out the works. Notification has
been received from the Essex County Council that they raise no
objection to the Corporation's proposals with regard to the Isolation
Hospital extensions.
The cost of the extensions to the Isolation Hospital, as estimated,
amount to the sum of £39,761, details of which appeared
in my Annual Report for 1929.
